Do you use the command prompt? Most windows versions
If so this tip could save you a lot of time.
Lets try it out open the command promp > start > run > type in cmd hit return, command prompt
opens it should have something like
C:\Documents and Settings\your computer name
type in cd.. hit return do that again till the prompt displays just C:\ or the letter of your main disk drive
say you want to get back to the documents and settings folder try typing in

Getting to the recycle bin.
If you have a few windows open while working and you want to bin one of your files did you know
that if the recycle bin is covered by you open folders makes it really hard to drag and drop. I used to
minimize all windows and then drag & drop. XP allows you to drag items to the bin when loads of
windows are open and covering the recycle bin. Just pick up the item and making sure you go over
a blank part of the task bar all open windows will then minimize works also if the window you are
working on is full screen.
